Getting back in the saddle

Well, as you have noticed I havent posted in a while.  Fall break really got me out of my focus of where I want to be and I have just kinda let go.  Not meaning to of course, but sometimes it just happens.  I got really caught up in how good food tasted and I just want to eat all the time.  It has been really hard and so dumb.  Daniel has been calling me out a lot, which sometimes makes me sad, but I am sad at myself because I know he is right.  And this week has been especially bad because it is my girlie week that I just dont care.  Also, school, man it is hard.  I feel like the work I have to do is never going to end.  This week especially has just been overload.  Oh, and, I am now a Mary Kay Consultant so add that to my plate.  Meetings, tests, quizzes, banquets, ortho appointments, work, work, work, school, programs... it just isnt going to end this week.  And it goes in to next week before I will be done so it is discouraging not knowing really when I am going to have time to squeeze in the work out.  I really want to go I just have to stay on top of everything so I really just dont know.  I am very excited about next semester and the prospect of being able to work out during the day or even in the morning since my classes will be so much better. I am taking an online class and that means I only have 3 classroom classes which is awesome! Anyway, I just thought I would give you the update.  It is really hard, I have no idea if I have gained weight back or not, and I dont know what the near future will hold.  But I can tell you that I am not giving up, I am just trying to get back on and keep going. 

Out of Routine

Well, today started fall break and I am now in Concord with my awesome cousin, Melissa!  I've officially lost 10 pounds and it feels great! I have been buckling my belt on the 2nd hole instead of struggling to get it on the 1st and I just feel so awesome! I am really excited about doing some shopping this weekend and spending some time with my family. 

It will be really hard to stay in my routine though.  Going from eating right for 3 weeks and working out almost every day to not knowing when I'm going to be able to run and having to eat on someone else's schedule is tough. I'm going to try really hard to maintain what I have done this week and not fall back in a hole over the next five days. 

In old news, the last few days have been good.  Daniel came to the gym with Josh and me last night and it was sooooo fun.  He is so handsome!  I have the best support system.  Also, I've done well on all my assignments so far and I am very excited to have a few days of break. 

I really wish my roommate Jessica was with me right now because I want to go ring shopping with her :( But I know she is having a blast with her family and needs this time too.  She is so amazing and I am gonna really miss her this week.  I'm also gonna miss my other two roommate, Shelby and Caroline!  We really are like a family and I love them all dearly. 

Off to watch a movie with my cousin though! Excited for tomorrow, a day with my Papaw and Nana! 

Losing track...

So I am starting to lose track of the days so I figured from now on I will just title them with something from my day.  So speaking of losing track, I totally didnt realize today was Thursday and missed spin class this morning.  Super sad.  Then at work, I lost track of time and stayed a little longer than I expected.  It is so easy to lose track of what we are planning and it is true in fitness too.  I have really been losing my focus a little because I just want to be where I want and not where I am.  But I have to stay on track or I will never get there.  Not that I havent been doing well with everything, but just more of a "why am I doing this again?" "Am I ever really going to get there or is this all for nothing?" kinda thing.  I know I can do it, I REALLY DO!  I just need to remind myself every once in a while.

So for starters, I had a really great workout with Josh tonight.  He pushed me really hard and I know I will be super sore tomorrow but it was really fun.  I really like working my legs, kinda weird but I do.  And on Saturday IM RUNNING A 5K!  This will be my third 5K ever and I've done all of them in roughly the past year.  I think I told Josh false information today by mistake but in my previous two races I was able to run a 5K in under 33 minutes.  Although, I never really pushed myself like I have been recently.  So My goal is to do it in under 30.  I really hope I can make it and finish strong.  After all, the proceeds are going to Cancer Research! What a great way to spend my Saturday morning!

Also, I had a really great night with Daniel tonight! Sometimes we get on a One Tree Hill kick (my favorite TV show) and he actually gets in to the shows.  He has let me watch them for 2 days in a row now so I am very excited about it.  He is so sweet.  I am so lucky (have I said that recently?)!  Anyway, off to bed now for a new day tomorrow! 

Days 10, 11, 12, and 13

Woops... So one reason I havent been blogging is because I have been really really bad this weekend.  I feel bad about that.  BUT I have still lost another 2 pounds since I weighed last.  I know it isnt a whole lot but at least my weight went down instead of up in the past few days with no working out.  Today was much much better.  I got new running shoes today and I am so so excited about them. I just cant wait for tomorrow so I can go running! 

Also, all my tests I was stressing about... I got a 95, 97, 103, and 104! WOW.  Super pumped! 

Not too much else has been happening this weekend.  I got a lot of time to just spend relaxing with my amazing boyfriend and it was such a blessing.  He is such a sweet, caring, smart, and just all around perfect guy!  I'm the luckiest girl in the world! 

Sorry it was short but that is all.  I will try to get better about blogging.
